Biomarkers of dietary patterns: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Most methods for assessing dietary intake have considerable measurement error. Dietary biomarkers are objective tools for dietary assessment. Dietary biomarkers of dietary patterns have not been well described, despite modern dietary guidelines endorsing dietary patterns.

Objective

This systematic review sought to describe the dietary biomarkers commonly used to assess dietary patterns, and the novel biomarkers of dietary patterns identified by exploratory studies.

Data sources

MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central, PreMEDLINE, and CINAHL databases were searched.

Data extraction

Data extraction and bias assessment were undertaken in duplicate.

Data analysis

A qualitative approach was applied, without statistical analysis.

Conclusion

In control
